Petition to keep The Grass Station open as a Medical Dispensary in Regina

As per the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), individuals with a medical need have the right to access & possess cannabis for medical purposes. The Grass Station Regina has been allowing patients just that, access to Cannabis for medical purposes. Due to recent legislation it has been made clear that dispensaries will be selected by SLGA and awarded a licence through a lottery system.

Over the past year, the Grass Station has gained extensive knowledge and skills in owning and operating a dispensary. They have provided their patients with natural alternatives, many seeing unprecedented results. They have made a positive impact on the community treating both physical and mental health conditions. Which has allowed many of their patients a better quality of life. In addition to helping the community they have brought fulfilling jobs to an array of staff members. Who have in turn built lasting relationships with their patients and have become valuable members of the Cannabis community.

With the new legislation coming into effect, the community is at risk of The Grass Station having to close their doors and be replaced by new recreational-only dispensaries. What this means is that the medicinal relationships The Grass Station & their patients have built will be lost. Patients may not receive the same treatment, knowledge or understanding at a recreational dispensary as they do at The Grass Station which is a medicinal only dispensary. This will have significant impacts on the community as many members of The Grass Station require medicinal cannabis to live a healthy life and be active members of society. Many of whom rely heavily on the knowledge and direction of the highly skilled owners and staff of The Grass Station.

Please, sign the petition to keep the Grass Station open so they can continue to provide their patients with the service they need and deserve.
